I've got a BCM 16" Recce upper that came with a DD Lite 12" quad rail on it. Been happy with this upper.....put an AFG on the rail and it's been a joy to shoot.
Recently though I got a Nordic Components .22lr upper which comes with a tube fore end. Originally my plan was to get a cheaper quad rail (YHM) with an AFG so that it'd closely match my primary upper for training purposes.
However the more I shoot the Nordic the more I'm liking the feel of the tube over the quad rail/afg. Now I'm thinking of going the other way and getting a tube for my primary.
Getting really close to pulling the trigger and ordering the 13" Troy/VTAC (still not sure which of the two i want....the VTAC seems like it'd be more comfortable but i like that the Troy seems to have an upgraded nut and come with a special wrench). Plus i think I can fund the tube purchase by selling the DD Lite and still have some spending cash left over for something else (i need a good light mount).
I've never done any gunsmithing to my upper...about the hardest thing i've done so far has been installing a Geiselle SSA into my lower.
Anyway just wondering about the difficulty level of removing my DD Lite and putting the Troy/VTAC on there.
I don't have any special AR specific tools....just standard stuff and access to a vice at my buddy's house.
